6.Why do you keep smoking and do you think you'll ever quit?
i keep smoking because its an addiction and/or physical crutch...i was at the point of wanting to quit...but then i live in nj, and between the adds for stop smoking and the way smokers get treated today, i frankly enjoy sticking it in their eye...this is america and we do have freedom of choice, so either make it an illegal product or shut the hell up....and they never will make it illegal...they get far too much tax money from it....hypocrits.......

5-6 years.

555 or Hand rolled. I also smoke a pipe
3.Favorite flavor, if any?
Full flavor or vanilla (occasionally). I don't like those fruity crap that my friends smoke.

I started when a friend of mine introduced it to me in school on a moving bus. The first time I learned I actually inhaled the smoke was at that time the best moment of my life.

Throughout the day and mostly when I'm outside

I don't know why i keep smoking and Ive tried to quit a couple of times just haven't succeeded. Ill probably quit before I reach 30 so i got 7 more years to go.

REFORMED SMOKER
1. 26 years
2. B&H Classic (old special filters)
3. Really enjoyed the Indonesian clove cigarettes.
4. Had a fascination with smoking from an early age. Used to pick up peoples lit bumpers that they had discarded whilst waiting out the front of the supermarket for my parents...would have been six or seven (disgusting but true). Took it up as a daily habit at thirteen after a school function....remember smoking, getting a head spin and rolling down the hill we were sitting on cracking up....hooked.
5. Was a pack and a half a day man...loved my smoke, my drink and my book at the end of the day.
6. Didn't think I'd ever quit...but.....my thirteen year old just gave it to me a couple of months ago...total guilt trip after a massive emotional year in which my father died of (non-smoking) cancer, my mum got really sick and my wife and I had an unexpected pregnancy and new baby boy. My oldest boy took me aside and quietly explained that he would like me to see him achieve all the thing that he wants to achieve and that he wants his sister and baby brother to have the same opportunity without me quietly killing myself.....I was pretty proud of him....to make a long story a little longer, I organised a quit group at work and haven't touched one for a month....and really don't want to.

1.How long have you been smoking for?
25.5 years

2.Favorite brand of smokes?
Camel Essential Flavor

3.Favorite flavor, if any?
None

4.Why have you started and where?
It was my 14th birthday and I was dead drunk.

5.When do you smoke most frequently?
At work when stressed.

6.Why do you keep smoking and do you think you'll ever quit?
I have a bit of a temper and smoking is what I do instead of bashing someone's head in or destroying office furniture. Unless someone comes up with a better way to relieve stress that actually works for me I'll probably keep smoking until the end of days, although I have already reduced it from two packs a day to half a pack a day.

only if i wear a condom...i do like the smell of burning rubber
